Something Serious:

?Forget your circle of influence. I want a square and here’s why.

For me to be influenced by those around me, I need to know they are in my corner and not just by my side. Hence the square with 4 corners. It’s been said you are the culmination of the 3-5 people you spend the most time with so why not take the four most important people and place them where you know you will find them?

Metaphors quip, and analogies aside, the key is to know who is in your life and where they are when you need them. Why run in circles seeking someone out when you know where they are.

Here are 10 ways to build better relationships:

1.??Be true to your word and follow through with your actions.

2.??Say what you mean, and mean what you say.?

3.??Be vulnerable?—?gradually.

4.??Learn how to communicate effectively with others.

5.??Take time to make decisions and think before acting too quickly.

6.??Value the relationships that you have—and don’t take them for granted.

7.??Help people whenever you can.

8.??Don’t hide your feelings.

9.??Always do what you believe to be right.

10.?Admit your mistakes.
